Off topic i know but "have you tried asking ccmb?"
Any recommendations for a upvc specialist / locksmith that can open and fix a broken lock on a upvc door?
Google search just not doing it anymore with all the paid and optimised pages.
Thanks in advance as if i cant get it opened asap i'll be out 10 times a day taking the old dog out for a wee.
second question
How much is a fair price to pay for supply and fit upvc back door.?
Repairing locks on a UPVC door is very expensive; at least it was for me via a local locksmith.
If it's just the barrel lock that needs changing it's relatively simple. If it's the rest of the locking mechanism then get a professional.
I bought a lock to fix my back door about 15yrs ago because it was too expensive to call a locksmith out. I was quoted silly money even back then so I spent about 100 quid and fixed it myself.
I bet you Tony Jeffries knows someone. He used to be in that line of work.
We got locked out (lost key) and had to drill the lock to get in (helped by a neighbour)
I contacted my house insurance which has emergency cover they sent someone out to fix it.
I know it's not really free because your premium goes up but we got a new lock.
Thanks all for the replies. Door mechanism f****D and shut closed. Used Curley Locks recommended by a upvc repair guy and did a good job. Cost wasn't cheap £250 for 2 hours labour and new lock. Lock wasn't standard as the door wad pretty old.
